Media Today's Art

In this society, people may be affected by the media but everything around them is affected as well. Like Arts; in a traditional way people use paint brushes, oil pastel or even pencil to sketch their ideas. But when Technology was discovered, people now use a number of softwares to create their designs. It is easy for them because one mistake you can easily undo it unlike on the actual canvas or paper you have to repeat it all over again. Unless you use other methods to cover it up. There may be disadvantages as well there are advantages. Also another thing is sharing and publishing your artwork. The fastest way is uploading it online or if you want you can present it to an art dealer or something. But to be honest most people will just take a picture and then upload it online. Even doing your artworks digitally is quite easy once you know how the tools function. You can create animations, make objects that can move and make them transform. 

Anyone can be an artist, a designer, creator, etc. But it takes time and effort to become a professional. Thanks to technology it made the artist's work easier.

With effects it can make your artworks eye catching. Make's it look cool that you want to make as it your desktop wallpaper. I know I would. That's one of the best thing in using today's technology. However, as an artist it is a challenge.

Back in high school, I remembered how much knowledge I lacked when it came to digital art.

Actually at first I wasn't good at drawing. I can't even draw a star or person. Until I learned about anime from my friends. I learned lots of things from it. About life, advice, how to draw and more importantly not to give up.

Before entering college, I honestly didn't know what course to take. I envied others who already have their goals and dreams unlike me. Well I do have dreams but felt like it wasn't meant for me.

                                                             

Then I learned about Multimedia Artist. I knew by then that it was the choice that I should take. Finally I went for it. Although when I entered college there were actually a lot of my classmates who are far better and far more enhanced than me. I said to myself, "Aimee, you made it this far. If you give up now, do you have the right to call yourself a fight?". And you know actually I'm glad that I found myself some rivals because if it weren't for them I wouldn't have gotten this far. 

Anyway the reason why I chose Multimedia Arts was because I love to design and create my own animations. That's why I am thankful for this era. Since technology can make my designs look real and alive. 

Media Kills

As technology evolve and improve, people nowadays engross themselves in social media. In social media you basically can do anything, share any information, contact people from any place; in short things became easier to do things. However, there are dark things hidden behind the screen that others do not know. Below is a short example.

Justin is one of those teenage boy who spends his time in the society of media. In this society, let’s say Facebook Justin lied about his background. In school, he was always bullied whenever he has problems he would resort it by using the society of media. Then he met this girl who goes by the name Lorie. Then he has been chatting with this girl who goes by the name Lorie. She is beautiful, with a slender body and a long beautiful hair. They have been chatting almost for three months and they felt like it was time for them to meet. And so they did. However, it was disappointing since the person that Justin wanted to meet was an illusion. Lorie turned out to be a gay. It seems that Justin’s classmates wanted to play a prank on him by using Lorie as their game plan. Justin was crashed and humiliated. The next day, everybody at school heard about it and he became the laughing stock in school. Justin couldn’t take it anymore that he resorted in taking his life.

Another terrifying story is that, Allison who is addicted in playing the latest online game committed a crime. It happens that when she was focusing on the game, her three year old brother interrupted her. She was so mad that she bashed the keyboard onto her brother’s face. And then beat him until he died.

It’s true that the internet is useful however from what I’ve learned, it also promotes bullying. There are good things and as well bad things. Since the internet provides information, anything is possible. One can learn things by himself and discover things throughout the world. You can show your talents as you share it online. You can also find your friends and contact them. Enjoy and entertain yourself. That’s one of the good things when it comes to the internet. But we must prevent cyberbullying since it will not only hurt the person but can also destroy a life. Also don’t let the internet influence you or let it control you. Furthermore, don’t be confuse with which is the reality. So be careful and wise.
